Vignette 28
Thankfully, the clouds rolled in. The sky turned silver. The grass felt cool. The worms rose to where the eye can see. The slight caress of electricity crossed over the hairs of our arms and all of the dogs in the neighborhood began to bark. If this change hadn't happened so noticeably, I would not have found myself lying in your arms, wrapped in a blanket, wondering what the next day would bring, with a hint of fear in my eyes. You did not even know my name, Wyeth.

The clouds they do roll by.
ReplyDeleteThey crush an eggshell blue
in tempura's wake, a path of silver
squandered as gray.
Careless masons
render the sky in wattle and daub.
My man, Andrew, did it right,
sorting out the shades
with a fine-toothed comb.
